IT'S STILL THE TWO OF US

Been looking back on the beginning and the years.

The times were tough then, with little laughter and more tears.

I think we both thought that we'd get by if we just tried.

We wasted time on our own stubborn foolish pride.

Where has the time gone? Petty hours that we spent

Hurting each other. Tell me why were we hell-bent

On things our own way. Never caring what we'd say..

As I look back now I never thought we'd end this way,

It's still the two of us. And I thank God most every day.

We have each other. Wouldn't want the other way.

I'm grateful to the man I love,

And we'll get by while we can say

It's still the two of us.

No More Tears

Speak of lovely things, not sad.

Light each room with your smiling face!

Encourage those who are weeping.

Extend to them your love and grace.

There are too many tears in this world.

Broken hearts along with damaged lives.

Will you be a beacon, guide them safely

To the higher ground and abandon the lies?

Despair is such a deadly curse.

It has no place in a healthy mind.

In positive thinking, we can abandon it,

It's within our choice to leave it behind.

Speak of happy times, not bad.

Leading the voices in joyful song!

Show them now to lift their voices!

Singing happily! Singing long!

PROGRESS

 Give me a grin and I'll give you a smile,

We'll walk around Georgia in our special style.

You give me a wink, and I'll give you what for,

There's just no telling what's behind that door.

If you give me your time, I can make you a bet

That we'd spend time together and never forget.

If you give me some wheels, we could go for a ride

To the ends of the earth in our dream world to hide.

If you give me a kiss, I will give you one back.

If you give me more kisses, I would never keep track.

 

TIME WITH YOU

If I had a million bucks, I"ll tell you what I'd do.

I'd fill my tank, I'd grab my bag and spend the day with you.

I know, the trip's a long one. I've made it once or twice.

But to see your face and hear your voice, wow! It would be so nice.

I'd grab some sweet Vidalias and a bag of Georgia peaches.

I'd bring some peanuts and a Coke, just to see how far it reaches.

But of all the things I could bring to you I hope that you would say

That the most delightful gift I'd bring would be bringing me your way.

I miss your gentle laughter. I miss your peaceful smile.

I love the movements that you'd make as I'd watch you all the while.

We'd snap a couple of pictures that I could take back home,

And you could share with your family, whenever they should come.

And then it would be time to end the day and I would go back home.

Cause usually with a million bucks, there's no telling where I'd roam.

But, seriously, as I ponder all the crazy things I could do,

The crazy things just don't compare, cause I'd rather spend time with you. 

Dare to Inspire

whining. complaining.

sometimes that's all i see

written on the pages of  the aspiring poets to be.

drama, tears and endless woe.

it seems their world is filled with such.

i long to offer that healing touch.

contentment. laughter.

this, I long to read.

is the heart so sad instead and eager to bleed?

 

I'm Praying for You

Laying here quietly, calmed by the stillness. 

The darkness of night has consumed my room. 

Beyond my window all nature is sleeping. 

My mind is with my Father, for I'm praying for you. 

The long day is over. My toils have ended. 

The problems I faced are all set aside. 

Still my heart has a burden only He can handle. 

So I cry out to the Father, and I'm praying for you.

My Haven of Love

His head lays cradled in my pillow. The warmth of his body soothes my soul. I have no wish to leave my present haven Of tender moments and love. So seldom have I known such bliss as When his eyes search mine. His devotion is staggering. His loyalty has no end. I feel safe and secure in his presence Because I know he's always guarding. How can I answer the questions of Why do I love him so? Where can one go to find answers to Why he would even love me? No answers suffice. No words can attain it. It's the way of life and love, And the desire to belong to someone. Oh! How I revel in my happiness and joy As I cuddle each morning and evening With my miniature long-haired Dachsund!
